Hello everyone,
In my Family Relations class this week we viewed some videos that were very intriguing. They were some clips from a documentary called, "People Like Us: Social Class in America." There was one that I particularly liked and was moved by. It was about a woman named Tammy, and even with odds and judgmental people going against her, she was trying her best to make a better life for her and her children. I invite you to watch it, it is about 7 minutes. Tammy's Story
I feel for both Tammy and her children and I recognize that because of the overall situation it creates issues and heart ache for everyone. I have been taught the importance of education and hard work. Education is a large predictor of someones ultimate outcome in life. Education is a wealth in itself. Tammy's and her son's goals and desires are so great, and after I watched this I was really hoping someone would step in a be willing to help this struggling family. I think it is better and "best" to lift one another up as a humanity, as neighbors and as brothers and sisters. I encourage each of you reading this to develop great goals and continually work toward them and then create new goals. I also encourage you to find an opportunity to help someone every day. It will be a blessing in your life.

Kirsten, Thank you for leading the way and showing us how to use technology to draw family closer together. Following your example I have determined to start a family blog for the Grandma and Grandpa Young family. I have even taken the first step to create a blog and start experimenting with it. I am excited at the prospect of communicating uplifting and encouraging information to family now spread all over the country. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
